Whether you live in Warrenton or Falls Church, Virginia or somewhere in-between, summertime usually means a chance to play, relax and entertain in your yard. During these wonderful days outside, many Northern Virginia homeowners will be looking to add accessories and other inexpensive features to improve their backyard setting. Plus, it’s nice to look a little different from your neighbor. One such feature that can improve the look of your fence or deck is the decorative fence post cap, which has become more sophisticated in recent years. Some styles can simply be "slipped on" in a matter of seconds to your already existing fence or deck, while others are added with adhesive and a couple of nails.
